I have been in a natural hair cocoon for seven years. I started this blog to chronicle the life and times of my sisterlocks. And from time to time any other random thing that suites my fancy or draws my ever so curious mind. You are welcomed to drop me a comment anytime and feel free to link to this blog. ***Please do not copy my photos without my expressed permission***

Freedom

I am one of those people who is not happy unless I am using my hands, painting, sewing, making cards anything creative. I rarely "create" for myself. Growing up both of my parents put a huge value on creativity. To this day the biggest gift for my mother is something that comes my hands. More than eight years ago I painted this picture. The painting is titled,"Freedom." Unfortunately, most of the painting is cut off. The woman in this painting has her hands outstretched and she has on ballet shoes, her feet are in "fifth position." Again, I do not know what inspired me to paint her but, it seems funny that it took me eight years to get the the "freedom" shown in this painting. I am so glad I woke up!

-Lashaune, thank you for your comments. I will be posting more older pieces from over the years. However, with my Graduate school experience coming to a close I will not have time to paint anything new at the moment...we'll take a rain check...Thank you again for your sweet sentiments!

This is a beautiful painting and I was immediately attracted to it. This Sisterlocks journey is all about finding self - the path is different for everyone - the important thing is that we're on the path. Welcome home to "freedom" and thanks for sharing with us.

About Me

I love anything organic and am very passionate about the preservation of environment. Sisterlocks seemed to be a natural next step for my lifestyle. I have been natural for seven years. In that time I tried just about everything with my hair. After doing three long years of research I decided that sisterlocks was the right decision for me. I was locked October 23-24, 2006.
